Halloween Horror Nights - Gone, But Not Forgotten
The furry faces are a-changing at Universal
Studios- Hollywood (USH). Say "see you later" to the Grinch. Welcome in the
Mummy. And bid a long goodbye to Halloween Horror Nights.
What Vivendi Universal definitely doesn't want
to see this fall is Halloween Horror Nights (HHN). Despite next to no promotion for the
event, the 2000 edition of HHN fared better than it did in the three years previous.
Still, says one manager, "the overhead dollars were just too high. The Entertainment
Department is way overstaffed with managers in the office -- at the expense of a
decreasing staff in the park."
Universal Studios Florida will continue their wildly successful Halloween Horror Nights,
and he suspects the event will return to the Hollywood park one day. "We are storing
the HHN stuff at our Glendale warehouse in anticipation that the event will possibly
return in future years," he explains. "The fact that we were not ordered to send
the inventory to USF seems to mean that it might return in 2002 or 2003."
